Event Security services in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa is home to the OC Fair & Event Center, where the OC Fair and many other events take place, plus the Segerstrom Center for the Arts area, South Coast Plaza and a busy restaurant and creative scene in SoBeCa and along 17th Street. That means a steady stream of fairs, shows, galas, pop-ups and private parties. APS provides event security in Costa Mesa for organizers, vendors, restaurants and nonprofits.
Our officers cover entry and ticket checks, bag inspections, crowd control, VIP and backstage areas, parking, and overnight booth and equipment security. Exhibitors at multi-day shows often hire us to keep watch on their space after hours. Each officer checks in with GPS and sends time-stamped photos, and a Daily Activity Report goes to you after every shift with notes on anything that happened.
